You can also use this as Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Preventative - Are you exhibiting any of these signs? Yes, then I will give you some tools to change things up to help avoid getting or worsen your Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. 

Hypertonic Pelvic Floor is a whole body issue, so let's treat it like that vs throwing Kegels at it (which chances are with a Hypertonic Pelvic Floor is going to make matters worse, or at the very least not help.)

There are NOT  "bad" or "good" fitness for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, it HOW you do the exercise itself. 

In this episode I breakdown all the common fitness practices and explain how to make them more Pelvic Floor Safe. 

Including Yoga, Pilates, Walking, Running, Hiking, Cycling and of course Strength Training. 

In my course and coaching we focus on mastering your ABCs (Alignment, Breathing and Ceasing Tension for muscles to function properly) and then challenge that up with more intense and challenging fitness routines like the ones explained in this episode. 

It's about progression, awareness and intention. 

If you lift to heavy with bad form your pelvic floor is going to suffer, simple.

You can do anything you want even with pelvic floor dysfunction but your have to build a solid foundation first with your ABCs. 

My members stay working on their ABCs for a good 2-4 weeks before picking up a weight and what they learn and how they feel about their bodies after its incredible. 

Take time for yourself and do things right.

You are wasting your time on your fitness routine if you are not focusing on lengthening before contracting and not addressing areas in your body that you are holding tension. 

A chronically short / tense  muscle is weak and will fatigue quickly. Add on a contraction and all your doing is adding to the tension. 

THIS IS WHY KEGELS ARE NOT THE ONLY FIX FOR PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION. Your Pelvic Floor needs to be able to lengthen BEFORE it can gain any strength through a Kegel or contraction. 

Module 4 in My Course  is all about relieving and releasing tension starting at your feet and going all the way to your head. 

By releasing tension we can get muscles working and doing their jobs as well as progressively gain strength through resistance training.
